Louisiana Tech running back Kenneth Dixon and the end zone got acquainted with each other after Dixon set NCAA records with 27 rushing touchdowns and 28 total touchdowns this past season.

Dixon's freshman accomplishments are attracting plenty of preseason publicity, including a spot on the Maxwell Award Watch List. The award is given to the nation's college player of the year chosen by the Maxwell Football Club's selection committee, which determined the 75-player watch list based on past performance and potential this season.
